South Africa may be the winners, but India have had plenty to gain from the series as well. Widely expected to be thrashed 2-0 on this tour, they showed they could hold their own against the toughest team around. It is a certainly a massive step up from their two previous high-profile overseas series, which ended in disastrous 4-0 losses
South Africa have now gone 14 series without defeat - their longest unbeaten streak and the joint-third longest by any team in Tests.
Only Australia (16 series) and West Indies (29) have gone longer without a series loss. In their last 25 series, South Africa have lost only once
Dale Steyn has now taken 350 wickets at 22.90 and his strike rate of 42 is the best among bowlers with more than 200 wickets
Ishant Sharma's wicket in India's second innings was Dale Steyn's 350th in Tests.
Dale Steyn became the joint second-quickest to the mark, in terms of number of Tests. Steyn equalled Richard Hadlee in getting to 350 in his 69th Test.
The 14 dismissals that AB de Villiers collected are the joint -second highest by a wicketkeeper in a two-match series, after Kamran Akmal's 15 dismissals against West Indies in 2005
AB De Villiers also contributed with the bat, scoring 190 runs at 63.33. His all-round performance won him his Test career's third Man-of-the-Series award, making him the wicketkeeper to have won most such awards along with Adam Gilchrist.
Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane all scored 200+ Runs in the series, the first time three India players scored 200 or more in a Test series in South Africa since 1996-97, when Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly achieved it, albeit in a three-Test series.
Cheteshwar Pujara's total of 280 runs in the series is the 2nd highest by an India batsman in South Africa, after Tendulkar's 326 runs from three Tests in 2010-11. Pujara also managed to outscore India's previous No. 3, Rahul Dravid, whose highest aggregate in a Test series in SA was 277 in 1996-97
Jacques Kallis bids adieu to Test cricket
Jacques Kallis, one of the greatest allrounders of the game, on Monday Dec 30,2013bid adieu to Test cricket after an illustrious 18-year career as he hit a century in his fairwell test match against India in Durban as South Africa post a 10-wicket thrashing of India
Jacques Kallis ended his Test career on 13,289 Run at anaverage of 55.37 from 166 Tests/280 Innings with 45 tons and 50 Fifties with 224 Runs being the ton score and only behind Sachin Tendulkar (15,921) and Ricky Ponting (13,378)
Jacques Kallis has also taken 292 wickets and 200 catches in test cricket with BBI-6/54 andBBM-9/92
Jacques Kallis
- Only Test player to reach 10,000 runs and 250 wickets (Kallis had 13,289 runs and 292 wickets)
- Five centuries in consecutive Tests
- Fastest Test 50 (24 balls v Zimbabwe, Cape Town 2005)
- Third highest Test run scorer (behind Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting)
- Second highest Test century maker (45 to Tendulkar's 51)
- Second highest in Test outfield catches (200 to Rahul Dravid's 210)
